Q: PHP Array Not Working in Function I'm currently experimenting with arrays in PHP, and I created a fake environment where a team's information will be displayed.
    $t1 = array (
            "basicInfo" => array (
                "The Sineps",
                "December 25, 2010",
                "lemonpole"
            ),
            "overallRecord" => array (0, 0, 0, 0),
            "overallSeasons" => array (
                1 => array (14, 0, 0),
                2 => array (9, 5, 2),
                3 => array (12, 4, 0),
                4 => array (3, 11, 2)
            ),
            "games" => array (
                "",
                "",
                "",
                ""
            ),
            "seasonHistory" => array (
                "Season I",
                "Season II",
                "Season III",
                "Season IV"
            ),
            "divisions" => array (
                "Open",
                "Main",
                "Main",
                "Invite"
            )
        );
// Displays the seasons the team has been in along
    // with the record of each season.
    function seasonHistory() {
        // Make array variable local-scope.
        global $t1;

        // Count the number of seasons.
        $numrows = count($t1["seasonHistory"]);

        // Loop through all the variables until
        // it reaches the last entry made and display
        // each item seperately.
        for($v = 0; $v <= $numrows; $v++) {
            // Echo each season.
            echo "
{$t1["games"][$v]}	";
            echo "{$t1["seasonHistory"][$v]}	";
            echo "{$t1["divisions"][$v]}
";
        }
    }

I have tested several possible problems out and after narrowing them down I have come down to one conclusion and that is my function is not connecting to the array for some reason. I don't know what else to do because I thought making the array global would fix that problem.
What works:

*

*I can echo $t1["games"][0] on the page I need it to display and it gives me the content.

*I tried echo $t1["games"][0] INSIDE the function and then calling the function and it doesn't display anything.

A: This can happen if you define your $t1 not in the global scope. Try explicitly putting it into globals, by doing $GLOBALS['t1'] = $t1; right after you define your variable.

A: extract($t1);

Try this function instead of global.
Better idea is to pass array as argument...
function seasonHistory($array){

$t1 = $array;

//your function
}

Introduction / Issue 28: Contending with Crisis
Published by IVC Editorial Board
Artwork by contributor Anna Haglin The theme of the twenty-eighth issue of InVisible Culture makes explicit something that has resonated throughout the past four issues of our journal. From engagements with vulnerability and states of contagion (Issue 24: Corpus), and the intersections between surveillance, (national) security and the visual (Issue 25: Security and Visibility), to an issue inspired by the refugee crisis (Issue 26: Border Crossings) and another devoted to the proliferation of speculative imaginaries in the present moment (Issue 27: Speculative Visions), these issues suggest that "across diverse and geopolitical locations, the present moment imposes itself on consciousness as a moment in extended crisis."1 Defined by the global uncertainty of a world afflicted by varied and ambiguously interrelated states of emergency, the concept of "crisis" here refers to a multitude of circumstances, events, and situations: military conflict, debt crises, issues of political representation, the mass migration and displacement of refugees, increasing ecological disruptions. These ruptures in the social demand constant attention from individuals and communities, constituting a need for committed artistic and scholarly engagements …

O Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana Futebol Clube, geralmente chamado Estrada, foi um clube brasileiro de futebol da cidade de Sorocaba, interior do estado de São Paulo. Fundado em 25 de novembro de 1930 por ferroviários da Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana, suas cores eram vermelha, preta e branca. Seu uniforme principal era composto de camisa branca com gola vermelha, calção preto. Teve 9 participações no Campeonato Paulista. Foi campeão da Terceira Divisão (atual A3), em 1961. Atualmente, o clube encontra-se extinto.

História
Uma das mais antigas equipes de Sorocaba, o Estrada foi fundado com o nome de São Paulo Futebol Clube, mudando para o nome atual em 21 de Janeiro de 1940, o  Estrada foi, ao lado do São Bento, o clube mais importante da cidade até o fim da década de 1960. Com a quebra do setor ferroviário no estado, a agremiação sofreu com a falta de recursos e acabou por ser desativada, sendo hoje apenas um time de futebol amador e uma academia de dança e ioga.

Em 1993 o clube se fundiu ao Clube Atlético Barcelona e ao Clube Atlético Sorocaba, dando origem ao atual equipe de futebol do Clube Atlético Sorocaba.

Q: Unknown receiver 'AFHTTPRequestOperation' ; did you mean 'AFHTTPRequestSerializer' I am learning AFNetworking kit. I followed this tutorial. Now I stuck at comment 2 see code below AFHTTPRequestOperation.
I imported AFNetworking using cocoapods.
Here is my code:
- (IBAction)jsonTapped:(id)sender{
    // comment 1
    NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@weather.php?format=json", BaseURLString];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:string];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

    // comment 2
    AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
    operation.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

    [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

    // comment 3
    self.weather = (NSDictionary *)responseObject;
    self.title = @"JSON Retrieved";
    [self.tableView reloadData];

    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {

        // comment 4
        UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error Retrieving Weather"
                                                        message:[error localizedDescription]
                                                       delegate:nil
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alertView show];
    }];

    // comment 5
    [operation start];
}

Now getting error at compile time see screen shot:

A: You can use AFHTTPRequestOperationManager
- (void)apiRequestForPOSTWithServiceName:(NSString *)serviceName andParameters:(NSDictionary *)parameter withCompletion:(void(^)(id response, BOOL isSuccess))completion
{
    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
    NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", BASE_URL, serviceName];
    [manager POST:url parameters:parameter success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        //NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);

        completion(responseObject,YES);

    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

        completion(error,NO);
    }];
}

Happy coding...!!

A: Please make sure that you included AFNetworking properly inside your project before you import any of the AFNetworking class. Probably you have not imported the kit properly.
Dont use UIAlertView which is deprecated iOS 9 use UIAlertController see code below.
UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"text mssg" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];

UIAlertAction *okAction = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Ok" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction * action){
    // Ok action code here
}];
UIAlertAction *otherAction = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Other" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction * action){
    // Other action code here
}];

[alert addAction:okAction];
[alert addAction:otherAction];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];


WINDHOEK, 29 JUN (NAMPA) – Namibia's Under-19 national cricket team will leave for the United Kingdom (UK) on Saturday to take part in six matches in preparation for the 2018 World Cup to be held in New Zealand.
A media statement availed to Nampa by Cricket Namibia on Thursday said the team will play three games in England before heading for Scotland, where they will play against the Scotland U-19 national cricket team.
They will face Marylebone Cricket Club Combined Juniors, Club Cricketers Conference and Surrey Combined in England.
Team manager Andre Schmidlin said they will be taking 15 players and two coaches to the UK.
"The main aim of this tour is make sure the boys get their batting and bowling disciplines right," he said.
Schmidlin added that the tour will also help them gauge how the players have progressed and what they are lacking.
Namibia performed well in the last World Cup (2016) in Bangladesh after beating the then holders South Africa, Nepal and Scotland, finishing seventh.
By finishing as the best-ranked associate team at the 2016 World Cup, Namibia secured automatic qualification for the 2018 World Cup in New Zealand.
Schmidlin said they would like to maintain or better that position in this year's tournament, which is the reason why they are exposing these young players to high class cricket.
The team manager said this is the best preparation they have had, having already toured Zimbabwe as well as have Zimbabwe tour Namibia.
"This is the best preparation for a cricket world cup team for Namibia. We will also play the South African and English Under-19 sides in December and early January," he added.
He added that Namibia has talent in the sport and Lohan Lawrence will be the man to watch with both the ball and the bat.
Eben van Wyk is one to watch with the bat as he has been Namibia's top run scorer since coming into the team.
Namibia has qualified for the U-19 World Cup on nine occasions, more than any other associate member of the International Cricket Council.

Zocdoc founder Cyrus Massoumi and Indiegogo founder Slava Rubin have created a new $30 million fund called Humbition aimed at early stage, founder-led companies in New York.
"The fund is focused on connecting startups with investors and advisors experienced in building and growing successful businesses," said Rubin.
The fund has has brought on ClassPass founder Payal Kadakia, Warby Parker founder Neil Blumenthal, Charity: Water CEO and founder Scott Harrison, and Casper founder and CEO Philip Krim as advisors and investors. They have already invested some of the $30 million raise in Burrow, a couch-on-demand service.
"New York City is home to a tremendous number of mission-driven startups that are simply not receiving the same level of support as their peers in the Bay Area. This void presents a unique opportunity for humbition to reach the incredible local talent who need the funding and guidance to build and grow their businesses in New York City," said Rubin.


If there was the slightest doubt about Iban Mayo's soaring status as a sporting icon in Spain it has been swept away with the news that tawdry gossip magazine Interviu has offered the Euskaltel rider what is believed to be a significant amount of money to pose naked. Mayo declined the offer, but did agree to be interviewed by the Spanish mag that usually attracts sales by getting aspiring actresses to reveal all. The pressure on Mayo has increased substantially since he won the Dauphin Libr earlier this month. In recent days he was mobbed in a Durango supermarket as he was trying to buy his weekly groceries and forced to leave without buying anything, and has told his manager, Sabino Angoitia, that he is exhausted because of all the attention. Speaking to AS, Angoitia said of the offer from Interviu, "Iban has got a good sense of humour and took it as a joke. It is clear he doesn't need to call attention to himself by doing things of this type. At least not at the moment." Angoitia revealed Mayo has been forced to turn off his mobile phone due to the huge quantity of calls he was receiving. When he's turned it back on he's found up to 80 missed calls and his answerphone full. As one of the key rivals to Lance Armstrong, Mayo is getting his first taste of the huge pressures that the American has had to deal with for years. The Basque is currently in the midst of a period of 'active recuperation', basing himself at home in Durango and slowly building up the intensity of his training rides with his close friends from the region.

Q: Error when trying to consume odata webapi service I'm following this tutorial in trying to consume odata services
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/odata-support-in-aspnet-web-api/getting-started-with-odata-in-web-api/create-an-odata-client
I have downloaded and installed the WCF Data Services Tools 5.2 as instructed by the tutorial.
However, when I try to add a service reference, I get the following error:
The document at the url http://localhost:52868/odata/Products was not recognized as a known document type.
The error message from each known type may help you fix the problem:
- Report from 'XML Schema' is 'Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.'.
- Report from 'DISCO Document' is 'Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.'.
- Report from 'WSDL Document' is 'There is an error in XML document (1, 1).'.
  - Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:52868/odata/Products'.
The content type application/json; odata=minimalmetadata; streaming=true; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. The first 1024 bytes of the response were: '{
  "odata.error":{
    "code":"","message":{
      "lang":"en-US","value":"An error has occurred."
    },"innererror":{
      "message":"No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type 'Product' from content with media type 'application/soap+xml'.","type":"System.InvalidOperationException","stacktrace":"   at System.Net.Http.HttpContentExtensions.ReadAsAsync[T](HttpContent content, Type type, IEnumerable`1 formatters, IFormatterLogger formatterLogger)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.ModelBinding.FormatterParameterBinding.ReadContentAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, Type type, IEnumerable`1 formatters, IFormatterLogger formatterLogger)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.ModelBinding.FormatterParameterBinding.ExecuteBindingAsync(ModelMetadataProvider metadataProvider, HttpActionContext actionContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.OData.PerRequestParameterBinding.ExecuteBindingAsync(ModelMetadataProvider metadataProvider, HttpActionContext actionContext, CancellationToken cancel'.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

I am able to browse it via browser though.
What is wrong?

A: I'm not sure if it's a mistake in the tutorial, I tried experimenting around with the Uri, but adding http://localhost:52868/odata as reference works, http://localhost:52868/odata/Products doesn't


An online experience to engage citizens in public budgeting.
Public budgets are difficult for the average citizen to navigate. They're also extremely important. Involving citizens in the budgeting process would help build better trust and transparency in an age of open data. Engaged Public made early efforts in 2007 to embrace this challenge through an online simulation tool, but needed to reimagine the tool as a true digital product to help it scale to millions.
Engaged Public partnered with CauseLabs to reimagine their early budget simulation tool as a high-growth, web-based product with vast social impact and business outlook. Our work included a refined and simplified budget interaction experience for citizens, an onboarding process that greatly reduced setup time, and a brand new report builder that shows public leaders the top issues adjusted and an accumulation of citizen input on the budget, in one easy to digest view.
Prior to engaging CauseLabs, the sales effort for Backseat Budgeter was 20-30 hours with on-site training needed. Now, customers can sign up and have their budgets ready within two hours, and the product can accommodate budgets for cities, school districts, counties, and states. It's also localized in Spanish and French and, thanks to the modern framework on which it's built, more to come as adoption and use grows. As a B Corp, CauseLabs has used the tool internally to give our team members input on our company's spending.
What Public Leaders and Citizens wanted.
Finally, as we learned more about the needs of public leaders and citizens alike, we knew the brand needed to reflect the engaging and inquisitive, yet meaningful tone the product was now communicating.
We spent time creating a new identity working hand-in-hand with Engaged Public's marketing team. The result is a brand that is ready to communicate a positive image around public budgets for years to come.
With the brand guide in place, the team moved through our process to bring the product to life. The team worked to humanize budget categories and make life easy for public budgeting officials, while incorporating rigorous user feedback from citizens to build what is now one of the most compelling budget simulation experiences online.
We didn't stop there, though. We made sure to design a product that would not only educate citizens on the budget process in their communities and gather public opinion, but present the citizen voice in an actionable, digestible format so leaders could actually use it to inform decision-making.
We also spent time with a number of citizens in Denver, CO, to understand how they currently interacted with their public officials and what, if any, interest they had in having a real say in the budgeting process. As they play-tested our early prototypes, we confirmed that citizens do want to have a say and are interested. The problem was in creating an understandable and meaningful user experience that citizens felt made a real difference, and our early prototypes struck the right chord.
In just a few months, the new platform launched with several early adopters, including the 7th largest city in the U.S., and saw a dramatic spike in engagement. CauseLabs also built a companion tool, Taxpayer Receipt, which gives citizens an individualized breakdown of how their tax dollars are being spent.
The tool has been featured in national publications such as The Huffington Post, Fast Company, and GovTech. Now Balancing Act is helping bring the federal budget into the hands of all Americans thanks to a partnership with the Bipartisan Policy Center.
After several years of adding customizations when clients requested them, we had gathered enough common features to consider what a Balancing Act 2.0 might include. It became clear that in order for the product to mature, we needed to build an easy-to-use management console that would allow clients to create and customize not only their budgets and meetings but now also their own taxpayer receipts, which until this time had been completely custom development.
After digging into the data and receiving insights from current users, we pulled out the most relevant parts that the system was already capturing and determined a feasible way of visualizing this data. We also sought feedback concerning what information was missing and started capturing and incorporating that data as well. Choosing a flexible data visualization library meant that we were able to quickly spin up new custom reports on the management dashboard as they were needed.
Setting up a simulation is now super straightforward in the new client console.
We worked alongside Engaged Public on the look, feel and functionality of the inclusive management console in order to make it a useful and streamlined tool for administrators to easily manage all their Balancing Act simulations and experiences.
The new console also provided new analytics and data visualization features, which offer Engaged Public's clients a deeper understanding of who their users are, and what issues they are most concerned about.
Start-to-finish, we designed, developed, and launched the new management console over the course of nine months, including a sophisticated data migration plan from the old system to the new system—with zero data loss and little downtime.

What is Nitric Acid?
Nitric acid (HNO3), is a highly corrosive and toxic strong mineral acid that is normally colorless but tends to acquire a yellow cast to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen if long–stored.
Ordinary nitric acid has a concentration of 68%. When the solution contains more than 86% HNO3, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid, the concentrations above 95%. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
Pure anhydrous nitric acid (100%) is a colorless mobile liquid with a density of 1.512 g/cm2 that solidifies at -42° C and forms white crystals. It boils at 83° C. Consequently, anhydrous nitric acid should be stored below 0°C to avoid decomposition.
Nitric acid is made by the reaction of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) with water. Normally, the nitric oxide produced by the reaction is re-oxidized by the oxygen in air to produce additional nitrogen dioxide. Adding sulfuric acid to a nitrate salt and heating the mixture with an oil bath can make almost pure nitric acid. A condenser is used to condense the nitric acid fumes that bubble out of the solution.
Industrially, strong nitric acid is produced by dissolving additional nitrogen dioxide in 68% nitric acid in an absorption tower. Dissolved nitrogen oxides are either stripped in the case of white fuming nitric acid, or remain in solution to form red fuming nitric acid. More recently, electrochemical means have been developed to produce anhydrous acid from concentrated nitric acid feed stock.
Commercial grade nitric acid solutions are usually between 52% and 68% nitric acid. Production of nitric acid is via the Ostwald process, named after German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald. In this process, anhydrous ammonia is oxidized to nitric oxide, in the presence of platinum or rhodium gauge catalyst at high temperature of about 500K and a pressure of 9 bar.
Nitric acid is used in the production of ammonium nitrate for fertilizers, making plastics, and in the manufacture of dyes.
When it is combined with hydrochloric acid, an element called aqua regia is formed. This is a reagent that is capable of dissolving gold and platinum. Additionally, it is used in a colorimetric test to distinguish heroin and morphine.
Nitric acid is commonly used in science laboratories at schools for experimenting when specifically testing for chloride. This is accomplished by adding a sample with silver nitrate solution and nitric acid to test if a white precipitate, silver chloride is present. In the field of medicine, nitric acid is used in its pure state as a caustic to remove chancres and warts. Diluted solutions are used in the treatment of dyspepsia.
Nitric acid has been used in various forms as the oxidizer in liquid–fueled rockets. These forms include red fuming nitric acid, white fuming nitric acid, mixtures with sulfuric acid, and forms with HF inhibitor.
It is also typically used in the digestion process of turbid water samples, solid sludge samples, as well as other types of unique samples that require elemental analysis via ICP-MS, ICP-OES, ICP-AES, GFAA and flame atomic absorption spectroscopy.
In organic synthesis, nitric acid may be used to introduce the nitro group. When used with sulfuric acid, it generates the nitronium ion, which electrophilically reacts with aromatic compounds such as benzene.
In electrochemistry, nitric acid is used as a chemical doping agent for organic semiconductors, and in purification processes for raw carbon nanotubes.
In a low concentration, nitric acid is often used in woodworking to artificially age pine and maple. The color produced is a gray–gold, very much like very old wax or oil-finished wood.
Nitric acid can be used as a spot test for alkaloids like LSD, producing a variety of colors, depending on the alkaloid.

Call to keep teen prisoners out of mainstream prison
The Assistant Māori Commissioner for Children is urging Corrections not to close youth units or house rangatahi among the male adult prison population.
The Office of the Commissioner has sought assurances from Corrections that young people aged under 18 are not housed in youth units, under threat of closure to free up space for Covid-19 infected prisoners.
"Last night we were advised that one 17-year-old is among prisoners held in a youth unit that may be temporarily closed. In my view this young person must not be placed among adult prisoners in the mainstream prison," Assistant Māori Commissioner Glenis Philip-Barbara says.
"It is unsafe in every conceivable way for very young prisoners to be housed with adults.
"I was heartened to hear Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis express his concerns about possible plans to mainstream the young prisoners, however I would like to have Corrections rule out the idea – particularly for the young person aged just 17.
"While the Children's Commissioner only has a legal mandate to advocate for young people aged under 18, we share the concerns of others about wellbeing of all teenage prisoners who could be moved into the adult wings.
"Teenagers brains are still developing and are deeply impacted by their surroundings. They're not safe physically or mentally in a mainstream environment with adults. This is why youth units were established in the first place.
"We will remain in contact with Corrections as they work through this important issue. We appreciate the challenges of responsibly dealing with the risks of Covid, but urge the department, in managing this, to put the wellbeing of young prisoners first," Ms Philip-Barbara says.

Tester: Enhanced unemployment plays a role, but businesses need workers
By Martin KidstonMay 10, 2021
May 10, 2021 By Missoula Current
Recent soft employment figures illustrate the importance of enhanced unemployment benefits and other programs within the American Rescue Plan, Sen. Jon Tester said during a stop in downtown Missoula last week.
But the proliferation of help wanted signs also punctuates the need to get people back to work, and ending enhanced unemployment could help businesses deal with what many are calling a critical shortage of workers.
"I think it's important to get people back to work as soon as possible," Tester said. "I know there's a lot of businesses out there looking for people to go to work."
The latest jobs report, released on Friday, found that only 226,000 jobs were added in April compared to the 1 million jobs most economists had forecast.
Some contend that enhanced unemployment benefits have kept people out of the labor force. Gov. Greg Gianforte has already tied the state's labor shortage to federal unemployment benefits.
Last week, Montana joined South Carolina in ending its participation in the federal unemployment benefits program. The program has been replaced with a "return to work" bonus.
"Nearly every sector in our economy faces a labor shortage," Gianforte said. "Incentives matter, and the vast expansion of federal unemployment benefits is now doing more harm than good."
Tester said the program played an important role during the pandemic, but he didn't disagree with efforts to get people back to work, even if that means ending enhanced unemployment.
Dozens of businesses across Missoula have help wanted signs posted in windows and doors, and some have upped their wages in an effort to get people hired.
"I think we got some unemployment numbers that weren't nearly as good as they thought they could be," Tester said. "Where the governor was at was not a bad position to be in, assuming that these businesses can rebound and we can continue to ensure they see more and more traffic."
Daines also has cited the state's labor shortage and the need to get workers back into the workforce. He called Gianforte's decisions to opt out of enhanced unemployment "a great decision for Montana."
"We're seeing small businesses put up 'help wanted' or 'now hiring' signs. We're even seeing some Montana small businesses close because they can't find enough workers to fill openings. Montanans can safely return to work and small businesses throughout Montana have plenty of job openings. "
According to the Montana Department of Labor and Industry, the state's unemployment rate of 3.8% is near pre-pandemic lows. But the labor force remains around 10,000 workers smaller than it was before the pandemic.
Montana was the first state to announce its plans to fully opt-out of the federal unemployment benefits program. South Carolina has since followed and Utah Republicans are looking to do the same.
The labor shortage also has hurt Montana contractors, who said there's no shortage of available work.
"The number of applications at the beginning of this construction season are about half of what we have seen in previous seasons," said Hal Fuglevand, VP-General Manager for Knife River. "At some of our locations, we will have trucks and equipment parked but no one to drive and operate them."
Tester said other issues also need attention, including those that force workers into difficult choices on when they return to work.
"There's some other big issues we'll have to deal with, like childcare and housing," Tester said. "We need to get folks the help for their businesses to expand, and even startup businesses."


Spray-painted messages that were an affront to Islam and Muslims covered the walls of a Shia mosque in the Helsinki district of Mellunmäki.
A Shia mosque in the eastern Helsinki district of Mellunmäki was vandalised this week. Hateful remarks about the Islamic religion and its Muslim practitioners were spray-painted onto the walls of the mosque on two separate days.
"We hadn't really seen this kind of thing before, but in recent years it has been starting to gain ground. It would be a good idea to think about what is behind this phenomenon, for example, what kind of image the media is also projecting about Islam," says Paula Kemell, board president of Resalat, Finland's largest Shia Muslim community organisation.
The mosque in Mellunmäki is one of Finland's largest, with close to 700 square metres of space. Kemell says it is located off the beaten path, which could encourage vandals.
"It's not a regular event, but sometimes we have two instances of vandalism in the same week, like this week. Our website has also been hacked, threats are made against us and we are sent death threats. It never ends," Kemell says.
"It feels bad. We had a group of schoolchildren come for a visit on Wednesday and the first thing they saw was those kinds of things written on the building."
The walls of the mosque were washed clean on Friday as a team effort. Representatives of several different religions volunteered to help with the cleanup.
Heidi Rautionmaa, a pastor with the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church, was one of the people who participated.
"It's about friendship and solidarity. No matter if the attack was directed at a church, mosque, synagogue, temple or other place of worship, as far as I see it, it was directed at the entire religious community," she said. "We are all people, with the same joys and sorrows. Different religions do not separate us."
Resalat head Paula Kemell says she hopes that there will be a crackdown in Finland on online hate speech.
"Legislation could be passed that would prohibit people from saying anything at all. If we first tacitly accept hate speech, and then accept hate crimes, before you know it, it becomes normalised behavior, which is unfortunate," she says.
Kemell says that the Resalat community has few options for mitigating the vandalism.
"We don't have the resources to increase our security with, say, a fancy security camera. It seems that no one hears our cries for help."


As wedding planners and business owners, we tend to be masters of all trades. From accounting to design to social-media management, we wear a ton of different hats each day—which is why having streamlined processes and smart technologies in place is absolutely key when it comes to growing your planning business and increasing your profits.
I look back to when we first started LVL Weddings and can't believe the bare-bones digital diet we survived on back then. We had the basics—a website, Google, email, the Microsoft Suite, Quickbooks and online banking—but that was about it. There was no Dropbox yet, no Google Drive—and certainly no Aisle Planner or Honeybook! Tech companies weren't paying attention to the planning industry, and we were left with antiquated systems or systems that were geared toward big businesses and far beyond our budget.

FLY Racing ADR Motorsports team owner David Anthony has announced that he has signed 21-year-old Jayson Uribe to compete in the HONOS Superbike series. Anthony will continue his dual role as team owner and rider for the team, and both he and Uribe will be aboard Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbikes.
Uribe is a veteran road racer, yet he's only 21 years old. Photo courtesy of Jayson Uribe.
Uribe, who is from Napa Valley, California, began riding and racing dirtbikes at the tender age of four. A former Supermoto racer, he started road racing in 2009 aboard a Honda RS125. Uribe raced overseas for several years, and then, in 2018, he returned to the U.S. and competed in the MotoAmerica series aboard a Genuine Broaster Chicken Honda Superbike at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Utah Motorsports Campus, and Sonoma Raceway. In 2019, he raced at Utah and Laguna on a Uribe Racing Honda Superbike, and last year, he raced at Ridge Motorsports Park and Laguna, again on his Uribe Racing Honda Superbike. For 2021, Uribe is very much looking forward to competing for FLY Racing ADR Motorsports in the entire nine-round MotoAmerica Superbike Championship.
"I'm very excited to hop on a bike and compete in a full championship season in MotoAmerica," Uribe said. "I've had the chance to run with the Superbike guys a few times in the past few years, but never before on anything except a Honda and never on the East Coast. I think this year is a good opportunity for me to get my name out there on the American racing scene, and to learn from some of the best in the business. We have a lot of work ahead of us–learning a new bike, understanding new electronics, and getting to know new tracks. Regardless, I can't wait to get started!"

Anthony is looking forward to having Uribe as his teammate, and he is also proud to welcome back long-time team title sponsor FLY Racing for the 2021 MotoAmerica season. "It'll be great to have Jayson alongside me on the team, and with both of us aboard Suzukis, we will work together to develop the bike. Also, I can't thank FLY Racing enough for their long-term support of my program. We're ready to get this season started."
Anthony and Uribe will participate in the MotoAmerica Dunlop Official Preseason Test at the Circuit of The Americas on March 30 and 31. Round one of the HONOS Superbike Championship begins at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on April 30 through May 1.

My Saudi Arabian Boss Burnt My Hand With Hot Water And Threatened To Kill Me If I Tell Police— Lady
By danarewa555 (self media writer) | 5 months ago
A Kenyan lady identified as Faith Murungu has narrated the story of how she was maltreated by her Saudi Arabian boss after she travelled to the country in search of a greener pasture. While narrating her experience, the lady stated that her journey to Saudi Arabia started in a village called Syokimau in Kenya, where she underwent training on how to become a good housemaid.
Upon arrival in the Arabian country, her passport was taken away by her employer and then she was told that the first task she would do was smuggling a cache of drugs through her private parts. She wanted to reject the task but she has no choice.
Subsequently, her boss started beating her for no reason. There was a day that he asked her to bring a cup for him but because she did not learn Arabic well at that time, she brought a spoon for him. He beat her mercilessly and then poured hot water on her hand. He then threatened to kill her if she discloses that he was the one who burnt her hand. He asked her to tell the authorities that she mistakenly burnt herself.
All efforts to reach the Kenyan embassy at that time proved abortive because her boss was too harsh on her. She even lost the hope of returning to Kenya but she managed to reach a nearby red cross office where she finally got help.
"Experience is the best teacher. I would not tell anyone whether to go to Saudi Arabia or not. But before you go, find out whether the agency taking you there is genuine or not." Murunga stated.

How a strategically tailored open-source tool helped deliver on open government.
In recent years in New York City, thousands of citizens every month made Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests to access government data and information across a wide array of issues—and navigated a wide array of city agencies and processes to do so. The Administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio, demonstrating its strong commitment to transparency, planned to upgrade and centralize the FOIL management system. The Department of Records engaged Reboot for the strategy, multi-agency coordination, and design of a public-facing touchpoint for these transactions, which are vital to open government.
Reboot served as a user-centered design partner, collaborating deeply with the Mayor's Office and other relevant city agencies on a bespoke design sprint to support the launch of the new tool: OpenRecords.
From early in the project, we served as a thought partner for the City's team. A free and open-source tool for the project, RecordTrac, created by a Code for America fellow, was being adapted for implementation in the city. We led a design charrette with city workers who respond to FOIL requests, along with a group of collaborators from City and State government and open government advocates. Exercises like "product in a box" helped the team identify and understand the people who would use the system. Reboot used these insights also in creating the logo, design, and branding; in creating a web platform for the tool; and in supporting the City in preparing for implementation. The City has since launched an early "version 1" of the tool.
The process not only rapidly surfaced actionable insights, but challenged our assumptions. For example, the majority of FOIL requests did not come from journalists, as expected, but from a diversity of citizens seeking information on school budgets, zoning, criminal cases, and other issues. These findings not only helped tailor the tool, but reinforced its widespread importance for New Yorkers from all walks of life. By allowing New Yorkers and agencies to make, track, and manage FOIL requests, OpenRecords is an immediate and visible demonstration of New York City's nationwide leadership in transparency.

The Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner is a little tool that helps every cyclist in the process of adjusting the brake-pads and brake-shoes. Having these properly aligned with the rim results in the best possible brake force and optimal wear of your brake pads.
This article will look at the design of the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner and will briefly show how to use it in a structured and time-efficient way.
I'm using a pair of Mavic Ksyrium SLR wheels with Exalith coating. As these wheels are known to be noisy for the first couple of hundred kilometers (the grooves on the rim need to wear a little), it is important to have the brake-pads properly installed (with the correct distance and angle compared to the rim surface). Check the Velonews review of the Mavic Ksyrium SLR wheels who confirm the proper alignment of brake pads and squeeze noises in the first months of use.
At this point I decided to purchase the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner, a v-shaped plastic tool with a bolt straight through it. The clever design of the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner, with it ridges easily centers it on the correct spot between rim and tire, so you can hand-tighten the adjustment bolt. With the flat surface of the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner against the rim braking surface you are in the perfect position to tune the position of the brake pads.
In addition you want to read the Eleven Velo article: "Brake Pad Toe-In" that gives a different perspective on the proper alignment of the brake pads. Brake pad toe-in will avoid the squeal sounds while braking and increasing your overall brake power.
The clever design of the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner will facilitate an effective brake pad toe in. The thickness of the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner that will be placed against the rim braking surface differs in thickness. Effectively 2.5 mm thick in the back and 1.0 mm thick in the front, which will result in a ꓥ-shaped placement of your brake pads (from the top view).
Place the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner over the rim and make sure that the plastic ridges are placed between rim and tire.
The brake pads have the right distance to the rim surface as well as the right toe-in angle. In other words the optimum position for the best brake performance.
The Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner is one of those small tools that grows on you as you use it, because it simplifies the alignment and adjustment process of your brakes.
You will get the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner T4580 for a price-point of around EUR 13,00.
I have used the Tacx Brakeshoe Tuner for a couple of years now, and I see no signs of wear. The tool is not intensively used, but it's a comforting feeling that you always have your brake pads in the most optimum position. And due to the adjustment bolt, you always can use two hands to make the proper adjustments.
Trust and good braking performance are major contributors for your cycling safety. And it will only cost you a small investment that will save you adjustment time.
Hey!, I found this information for you: "Tacx BrakeShoe Tuner T4580 review". Here is the website link: https://www.remo-knops.com/5647/tacx-brakeshoe-tuner-t4580-review/. Thank you.


Booties: A type of sock that is made to protect the dog's feet from small cuts and sores. These are made out of various materials, i.e., denim, polar fleece, trigger cloth, etc.
By-Pass Mail: Service provided by US Mail System for remote villages to get mail and goods delivered. By-Pass Mail has been used to ship everything from toilet paper to refrigerators. Service only in Alaska provided by US mail System.
Come Gee! Come Haw! Commands for 180 degree turns in either direction.
Double Lead: Two dogs who lead the team side by side.
Dropped Dog: A dog that the musher has dropped from his team at a checkpoint. The dog is cared for at the checkpoint until it is flown back to Anchorage to the musher's handlers.
Heet: Alcohol based fuel used by mushers in their cook stoves on the trail.
Husky: Any northern type dog.
Lead Dog or Leader: Dog who runs in front of others. Generally must be both intelligent and fast.
Line Out! Command to lead dog to pull the team out straight from the sled. Used mostly while hooking dogs into team or unhooking them.
Neck Line: Line that connects dog's collar to tow line and between the two collars of a double lead.
Outside: Any place in the lower 48 states.
Overflow: When the ice gets so thick that the water has nowhere to go, it pushes up and over the ice. This overflow often gets a thin layer of ice when the temperature drops making it dangerous to cross.
Pacing: Leading a team with some sort of motorized vehicle that can set the 'pace' at a specific speed.
Rookie: A musher who is running the race for the first time or who has never completed the race.
Runners: The two bottom pieces of the sled which come in contact with the snow. They extend back of the basket for the driver to stand on. Runner bottoms are usually wood, covered with plastic or Teflon. This plastic or Teflon is usually replaced at least once during the race.
Siberian Husky: Medium sized (average 50 pounds) northern breed of dog, recognized by the American Kennel Club. Siberians usually have blue eyes.
Snow Hook or Ice Hook: Heavy piece of metal attached to sled by line. The snow hook is embedded in the snow in order to hold the team and sled for a short period of time.
Snub Line: Rope attached to the sled which is used to tie the sled to a tree or other object.
Swing Dog or Dogs: Dog that runs directly behind the leader. Further identified as right or left swing depending on which side of the tow line he is positioned on. His job is to help "swing" the team in the turns or curves.
Team Dog: Any dog other than those described above.
Termination Dust: The first snow that covers the top of the mountain in the fall. So called because this is a sign of the termination of summer in Alaska.
Trail!: Request for right-of-way on the trail.
Tug Line: Line that connects dog's harness to the tow line.
Wheel Dogs or Wheelers: Dogs placed directly in front of the sled. Their job is to pull the sled out and around corners or trees.
Whoa!: Command used to halt the team, accompanied by heavy pressure on the brake.
*Checkpoint Pronunciations can be found at this link.
Note: It should be thoroughly understood that as dogs are not driven with reins, but by spoken commands, the leader of the team must understand all that is said to him and guide the others accordingly. An intelligent leader is therefore an absolute necessity. At times it appears that there is ESP between musher and lead dog. Don't be surprised if you hear a musher have an in-depth conversation with his lead dog.


I recently tried to connect my iPhone to the built in bluetooth on a Range Rover Sport and whilst the phone could see the car's bluetooth and start pairing I was being prompted for a PIN number which I didn't know.
On iDrive equipped BMW's you pick your own code to enter on the phone, say 1234 and then the car asks you to confirm this code on the iDrive.
On much older Nokia car kits the code was written on a sticker on the hardware so you had to make note of it but all the recent Nokia kits just use 0000 as the code.
I tried 1234, 0000 and some other defaults to connect my phone to the Range Rover Bluetooth and it didn't accept them. I have since discovered (in the manual but obviously couldn't check this easily) that the bluetooth PIN for all Range Rovers and Land Rovers is 2121.

Al Thieme Honored For a Lifetime of Service and Innovation
Nov 19, 2019 | Business
Amigo Mobility founder receives MFG Lifetime Achievement Award.
BRIDGEPORT, MI, November 19, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ — The Michigan Manufacturers Association (MMA) announced that Al Thieme has received its MFG Lifetime Achievement Award. Thieme, inventor of the world's first personal power operated vehicle for people with walking limitations, is the owner, founder and driving force behind Amigo Mobility.
"I think of the impact he has had and it's almost overwhelming; the way in which Al and Amigo Mobility are able to touch the lives of others," said Beth Thieme, Al's wife and Vice President of Amigo Mobility. "It's amazing to meet people who come in to visit us, and write to us, and see how mobile and active they are. That's all because of him and who he is as a person."
Amigo Mobility started as a solution for a family member who began to lose mobility due to multiple sclerosis and required the use of a wheelchair. Thieme knew there must be a better way. This inspired him to develop a small yellow three-wheeled front drive power operated vehicle, the first Amigo. Thieme's tenacity and relentless quest for improved mobility paved the way for Amigo Mobility to grow and innovate new technologies. Thieme continues to use his ability to identify unique areas around which Amigo Mobility can help people.
"I know it can be difficult to understand when you don't live with it, but the Amigo can help a person with a disability feel non-disabled," said Ronnie Bachman, a motivational speaker and an Amigo owner for nearly 40 years. "I grew up with wheelchairs and artificial legs. I grew up with the looks people would give you, the way they'd talk differently to you and the words they would use to try and define you as this thing. It is so refreshing to use something that puts you up high, at eye level; something that is maneuverable. On an Amigo, you don't feel like you're lacking something the same way you would without it."
Thieme founded Amigo Mobility International, Inc. in 1968 and has continued to innovate his mobility products throughout the years. In 1970, Amigo produced and sold their first motorized shopping cart and in 2002, introduced the ValueShopper motorized shopping cart. The top five retailers in the U.S.A. use Amigo Mobility products in their locations. In 1998, Amigo's TravelMate became the world's first folding personal mobility vehicle and in 2016 they unveiled a unique line of material handling carts for use in industrial, commercial, hospital, warehouse and other environments.
With over 50 years as a Michigan family owned and operated business, Amigo Mobility International has been recognized numerous times. In 1981, Thieme received The United States Small Business Person of the Year Award and in 2012, the MMA named Amigo Mobility International as the Michigan Manufacturer of the Year.
The MFG Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Al Thieme at the MFG Excellence Awards on November 7, 2019 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in East Lansing, MI. This annual event honors the best individuals and companies in Michigan's manufacturing sector.
Since inventing the first motorized mobility cart in 1968, Amigo has been a family owned business with a passion for exceptional products and customer service. Amigo has been manufacturing motorized carts for people with mobility limitations, commercial and industrial applications for over 50 years. All Amigos continue to be manufactured in Michigan and shipped worldwide. Industry recognized for low cost of ownership, customization and superior customer service, Amigo looks forward to Improving Lives Through Mobility® while looking towards the next 50.

Dear Donagh,
I've been to Taizé five or six times and occasionally I attend a Taizé group here at home. I love the atmosphere. Something about it pulls me in. Maybe it's the crowds, maybe it's the simplicity, maybe it's even the lousy food! This is what I want to ask your opinion about. When someone said to me a few days ago, "You're into Taizé, aren't you?" I started to think about 'into'. Could there be a touch of brainwashing or a bit of mild addiction about all these things we get 'into'? Is it right to trust this feeling about Taizé? Maybe it's just another product for spiritual consumers. What do you think?
Kevin R.
'Into' is not a bad word! We're in an age of alienation and isolation and loneliness; or at best we're trying to get over it. It is (or was) the age of the outsider, the lost soul, the sovereign ego. The Gospel is about being 'in': the prayer of Jesus was "May they be one in us, as you are in me and I am in you" (John 17:21). There's no need to suspect the feeling of solidarity and community in itself. I remember a story by Camus in which the whole meaning of a character's life turned on a single letter. In a script found after his death, there was an indecipherable word: was it 'solidaire' or 'solitaire'? It's a question for everyone: is my life to be lived in solidarity with others or is it a solitary matter? But today it's more complex: against a general background of alienation there's a host of in-groups. This is so in the Church as in society at large. Many years ago Karl Rahner predicted that the vitality of the future Church would lie largely in small groups. It has proved an accurate prediction. It's astonishing to look at the year-planner of any retreat centre today: the acronyms of those multitudinous groups are like a new algebra!
No one pretends, I think, that there aren't dangers. Everything alive is dangerous. It's a question of discernment. If a group is elitist or exclusive we can begin to have suspicions about its spirit. Jesus reached out to "the weak, the sick, the wounded, the strayed, the lost" (see Ezech 34), and he told the disciples to go out to the whole world. He shed his blood "for all." In the early centuries the Church decisively broke with gnosticism, which had just those characteristics I mentioned. The danger in a group, it would seem to me, doesn't lie in the intensity of the feeling of belonging but in a rejection of the outside; not in what the group is 'into', but in what it feels 'out of'.
The inside feeling tends to want to authenticate itself without reference to the outside; it would like to be a world unto itself. But it is the outside that keeps it on the map. If you were buying a house you would pay equal attention to the inside and the outside! Both are real aspects of one and the same house. If a group doesn't want to place itself in the wide perspective of the Church (the landscape, so to speak) but rather to replace the Church community in some way, then we can begin to be suspicious of it. It is the wide perspective keeps a group from becoming a sect or a cult.
I don't think anyone could accuse the Taizé movement of being elitist or narrow. On the contrary it has a vast vision, challenging all the Churches and calling them to a deeper unity than they are perhaps willing to settle for. It is a gift to the Churches and a concrete vision of what the Church can be. Don't worry, Kevin: even the living-quarters in Taizé discourage any feeling of settling down or settling in! Enjoy it with a good conscience!

Archaeology & History
The Clochoderick Stone
On the outer southern edge of Kilbarchan parish—right near the ancient boundary line itself—this giant stone of the druids is seems to be well-known by local folk. Located about 40 yards away from the sacred 'St Bride's Burn' (her 'Well' is several hundred yards to the west), it was known to have been a rocking stone in early traditions, but as Glaswegian antiquarian Frank Mercer told us, "the stone no longer moves." The creation myths underscoring its existence, as Robert Mackenzie (1902) told us, say
"This remarkable stone, thought by some to have been set up by the druids, and by others to have been carried hither by a glacier, is now believed to be the top of a buried lava cone rising through lavas of different kind."
Clochoderick Stone on 1857 map
The site was highlighted on the first OS-map of the area in 1857, but the earliest mention of it seems to be as far back as 1204 CE, where it was named as Clochrodric and variants on that title several times in the 13th century. It was suggested by the old place-name student, Sir H. Maxwell, to derive from 'the Stone of Ryderch', who was the ruler of Strathclyde in the 6th century. He may be right.
Folklore told that this stone was not only the place where the druids held office and dispensed justice, but that it was also the burial-place of the Strathclyde King, Ryderch Hael.

Larkfield Moor, Inverkip, Renfrewshire
14th December 2018 15th July 2019 megalithix
Cup-and-Ring Stone (destroyed): OS Grid Reference – NS 2295 7591
When the moorland here was still free from the dodgy factory workings of Texas Instruments (UK) Ltd, a Mr F. Newall (1960) came across this curious example of ancient rock art—now long gone. He described the find as,
"A series of cup marks and one ring, worked in laminated sandstone (that) has been located on Larkfield Moor by Mr H.M. Sinclair. In several cases the outer edge of the cup has been deeply incised through yellow sandstone to leave a slightly raised boss of red sandstone at the centre. From the side of the outcrop bearing the cups was recovered a chert scraper, doubly notched on one edge."
R.W.B. Morris' 1981 sketch
The "chert scraper" is marked on the adjacent diagram with an "X".
Although this carving is described on the latest Canmore survey as "possibly a freak geological formation", we are best erring on the side of caution with their note, as it wasn't deemed as such by the rock art authority R.W.B. Morris. (1981) (the cup-marks on this stone were, as you can see, quite large—which is the likely reason for the geophysical suggestion) In his account of this design he described the carving as having,
"6 rings up to 20cm (8in) diameters, cut so that they penetrated the next lower yellow sandstone layer; but in 4 cases having a 'boss' of red sandstone slightly raised in the middle, and also 3 cups. Greatest carving depth 1cm (½ in)."

St. Peter's Well, Houston, Renfrewshire
5th June 2017 15th July 2019 megalithix
Holy Well: OS Grid Reference — NS 40764 67503
St Peters Well on 1863 map
Located on the north side of the village, in a field east of Greenhill Farm, this old Well was once (still is?) covered and protected by an old well-house. References to its mythic history are few and far between. St. Peter's Day was June 29, which may relate to the last vestiges of midsummer rites local people held here; or perhaps when the genius loci was more notable. The Old Statistical Account of 1790 told that the burn which runs past the well was called St. Peter's Burn; but T.C.F. Brotchie (1920) thought that an old place-name given to the village is telling:
"Houston is a very ancient village," he wrote, "and it was known long ago as Kilpeter, which is the 'cell or church of Peter'. The name of the farm near to the well is Chapelton, 'the place of the chapel', and I venture to think that when the saintly Peter came a-wandering to Renfrewshire, he established his habitation or cell adjacent to the well, blessed its water, and in that medieval times a chapel was also built there, its memory being enshrined in the place-name Chapelton. Crawford mentions that on St. Peter's Day vast numbers of people used to come to Houston. He does not state the reason, but I fancy these people came to pay their devoir at the holy well of St. Peter."
Mr Brotchie was probably right!

Cup-and-Ring Stone: OS Grid Reference – NS 4361 6173
Craigton Woods Carving
The TNA Rock Art Team on site – Fraser, Frank, Lisa, Leo & Aish
Get yourselves to Johnstone or Elderslie (which just about fuse into each other) and off the B789 road, make your way to Johnstone Castle football ground on Auchenlodment Road and go uphill, past the housing estate, until the fields open up on either side. 350 yards further, woodland appears. Go past the hair-pin kink in the road and, 50 yards or so past this, walk into the trees on your right. About 20 yards in, a large sloping rock face is what you're looking for… (there's a decent car-park on the left-hand side of the road 400 yards further along if you're driving here)
4 cup-and-rings in poor light
A seemingly solitary but vandalised petroglyph at the top of the Craigton Woods above Johnstone Castle estate: vandalized by the industrialists, whose quarry cut into a once larger rock, at whose edges cup-markings exist and whose design extended much further onto the now-vanished rock. The carving was also painted onto by some ignorant bastard many years ago (as the photos show); and one of the cup-and-rings here has either been damaged or isn't prehistoric. The paint was daubed onto the stone in the 1960s and is shown in one of Ron Morris' (1981) several descriptions of the site; and whilst it interferes with the design, it hasn't damaged it anything like as badly as the industrialists have done.
Craigenfeoch cup-and-rings
Vandalism aside: it's still quite an impressive carving, albeit hidden in the shadows of the surrounding trees. The design has been etched onto a large rock, some 35 feet long and perhaps up to 10 feet across, sloping at an angle of about 30-35° down (slippery when wet, as we all found out!). When we visited the site a few days ago, low cloud and mist didn't really allow us a decent inspection of the site. But what we did find was more than our predecessors….
James Kirkwood (1938) gave the first literary account of the site—and in some detail. When he found the place it was "mostly covered with vegetation", much like we found it on our visit. He wrote:
"The group of markings comprises five cups, each surrounded by a single encircling ring, whole lay-out being contained in an area of about 9 square feet. The setting corresponds almost exactly with the four cardinal points of the magnetic compass. The cup and ring to the north is the best preserved, the cup being 2½ inches in diameter and cut to a depth of 1 inch; the ring is somewhat elliptical, measuring 8½ and 7½ inches on its major and minor axes. A channel or gutter connects this cup with that within the eastern ring. The remaining cups vary from 2 inches to 2½ inches in diameter, and the rings from 6½ to 7 inches diameter. It is significant that the east and west cups are equidistant from the north one at about 15¼ inches; they are also equally spaced from the southeast cup at 19½ inches, and this latter dimension measures the distance from the west to the southwest cup. The four cups and rings on the main cardinal points are all moderately distinct, but the southwest sculpturing can only be very faintly discerned."
James Kirkwood's drawing
Ron Morris' sketch
Kirkwood's fascination with the alignments and measurements betwixt certain elements on the petroglyph was something of a fad at the time (resurfacing with some vigour in some quarters today), but is likely to have little if any authentic relevance with the animistic dynamics implicit in the function of the design.
When Ronald Morris (1981) entered the carving into his Southern Scotland survey, he made the now standard bland description of the carved elements:
"At least 5 cups-and-one-complete-ring (some ovoid), at least one with a long wavy groove downhill from the ring, and at least 5 cups, some of which may have been ringed. The ring marked 'F' in the (black-and-white photo, below) has been 'improved' since 1934 — the author has an older photograph showing it similar to the others. The 2 upper rings can only be seen just after sunrise, when wet—they are much weathered. Greatest ring diameter – 17cm (7in) and carving depths up to 2cm (1in)."
Fraser, Frank & Lisa at work
A good drawing of the carving would be worthwhile (are there any rock art-ists out there wanna join us on our next visit?), as the archaeological blandness never does petroglyphs descriptive justice. Ostensibly, from the bottom slope of the elongated stone—below where Fraser, Frank and Lisa are standing, right—a number of geophysical marks run across the stone. You can see in the photo how several geophysical 'lines' cut across the rock at an angle, roughly parallel, marked by the green vegetation. One of these is a small natural tunnel hole running through the stone, possibly made by the softer rock of a fossilized tree root or branch which has since disintegrated over time. Just above this 'hole' the carvings begin.
Cup-and-ring & carved line
Outer cup, 'fan' & CnRs
A number of possible cup-marks are overshadowed by the definite series of well eroded cup-and-rings (at least four of them) all close to each other, with lines connecting some to the others, including one which runs down to the tunnel hole. Some other lines on this part of the rock may or may not be geophysical (is there a geologist in the house!?). Close to the edge of the stone (where Fraser stands in the photo above) a singular cup-mark has been etched within a series of five lines, like an open fan, that all run to a point at the entrance of the natural tunnel in the stone. We were unsure as to whether these lines were natural or man-made (we need that geologist!); but it should be noted that an element very similar to this 'fan' of lines occurs in a carving near Killin, Perthshire, which we have yet to fully excavate—and in the Killin example the lines reach out from a central point like spokes on a bike wheel to an entire surrounding ring of cup-and-rings! Intriguing…
R.W.B. Morris early photo
One of the cup-and-rings in this cluster has clearly been either vandalized or else carved within the last century, as the erosion on it is wholly different to the rest, and the angle of the cuts into the stone shows clearly that a metal tool has made it. However, as Ron Morris stated above, this was apparently not the case with this 'ring' when he visited it in 1934 (it would be good to see the photo which he says shows its original state).
Faint cup-marks halfway up
Further up the slope of the rock we reach a near-parallel row of natural cracks across the stone. Inside this, about halfway along, a cluster of well eroded cup-marks exist—at least four of them. One of them has either a curved line arching out of it, or a semi-circular arc. Above the parallel cracks there is a large and very well eroded cup which, from differing angles, appeared to have faint sections of a ring around it, but we all agreed this was more a Rorschach response in our respective feeble minds!
We need to visit the site again in much better weather to gain a more accurate picture of the entire design. It appeared there were other elements to be seen here, but the lighting conditions were working against us that day…. That's our excuse anyway!

Standing Stone (destroyed): OS Grid Reference – NS 540 607
Kennishead
There is very little known of this once proud standing stone, said by one writer to have been about 12 feet long: six-feet of it in the ground and the other six-feet above ground. A decent monolith by anyone's standard! But some dickheads forty years or more ago thought it a good idea to destroy the site, or as it was diplomatically put, "was removed in advance of road widening." Vandalism no less – though it's demise was recorded by the Department of the Environment "on behalf of the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments." (DES, 1973)
A local journalist called Andrew McCallum described the site in his unpublished manuscript on the history of the parish of Mansewood, telling it to be near Cowglen:
"near Boydstone Road, midway between Kennishead and Barrhead Road. 6 feet above the ground, and at least as many below. Age and purpose are unknown."
Some thirty years later, Miss Adamson (1973) told us that,
"The straight-sided block had its base set on yellow sandstone. Immediately above the bedrock small stones and earth had been packed against the W and N faces of the standing stone. On top of the packing were two boulders set at right angles to wedge the sides of the stone. No burials or cremations were found."
Though on this latter remark we have to consider the possibility that the standing stone may once have accompanied a burial, as the nearby place-name 'Carnwadric' indicates a cairn, or burial site. A field-name survey of the immediate region may prove valuable.

I decided to have a Leighton Denny manicure pamper session. Don't you just love painting your nails and trying out new nail polishes?..Well I do. This week, I chose to wear "I Love Juicy" (*) from the Leighton Denny collection. This is the first nail polish I have tried from the brand and I can tell you that I was extremely impressed.
"I Love Juicy" is described as "..a perfect deep, rich orange. Warm and vibrant, it's an uplifting, sunny colour". It's a great description but I think I would decribed it as a bright red coral. It is definitely a feel good colour. The polish is very rich and has a strong pigment to it. In the pictures below, I used two coats. However, you would be fine with using just one coat (it's that rich!). This polish also dries really quickly which is what we all want right?! I think you could also get away without using a top coat as it has a nice gloss on its own. Nonetheless, I used the Leighton Denny "One For All" polish as a top coat. That stuff is amazing. It made the nail polish rock hard and my nails extremely glossy. I've read a number of reviews on One For All so was keen to try it out. As the name suggests, it can be used as a base coat, top coat or a clear gloss coat.
Here are all the products I used for my Leighton Denny pamper session..
This nail polish lasted for 5 days without chipping!!! Now ladies you know 5 days is a big deal right?! I was washing the dishes without gloves and it still didn't shift. Just how I like it. I really think using this top coat made the difference to it. All in all, I'm really impressed with these products from Leighton Denny and I'm looking forward to trying out the other products in the range.
You can pick this up online (click here) or at large department stores that stock Leighton Denny such as John Lewis & M&S.
Have you tried any nail polishes from the Leighton Denny range? What do you think about I Love Juicy?
Hope your well. I'm loving this colour on you - really suits you. I agree - applying a top coat deff makes the diffrrence. A base coat is good for protecting ur nails too.
All my nail polishes are from Leighton Denny and I have this one,too!It is a gorgeous colour!!
Pretty nail polish, I love painting my nails. Very impressed that this polish lasted five days without chipping!

[data-color="yellow"] {
 flex: 0 0 75%;
}
.wrapper{
 flex: 0 0 25%;

A: you can use flex: 1 percentage(); for example flex: 1 percentage(1/4);
